Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Industrial Application Field] This invention relates to a straining device that grinds and purees various cooking materials such as boiled potatoes and boiled eggs.

[Prior art] As a conventional pureeing device, for example,
As shown in No. 5212, a shaft having straining blades extending in the radial direction at the bottom thereof is rotatably supported in a container equipped with a straining net so as to be movable up and down. After putting the cooking ingredients into the container, the lid, which is supported so that the shaft can rotate and move up and down, is closed. First, the flat part of the blade crushes the cooking ingredients to a certain size, and then the blade As the machine rotates, the cooking ingredients are crushed by pressing them against the grid.

[Problems to be solved by the invention] In the conventional pureeing device described above, since the size of the input cooking material is not constant, the cooking material is crushed to a certain size by the flat part of the blade. I couldn't do it. For this reason, in the above-mentioned invention of Utility Model Publication No. 61-5212, a rising part is provided on the blade, and the sloping surface part allows cooking ingredients that are too large to be ground to be placed on the net by following the rotation of the blade. By making sliding contact, it is configured to grind to a size that allows grinding by the inclined surface portion. However, with the blades having the above-mentioned shape, it took time to force the cooking material onto the mesh and grind it due to the inclined surface portion, resulting in poor straining efficiency.

[Purpose of the invention] In view of the above-mentioned conventional drawbacks, the purpose of the invention is to
To provide a straining device capable of efficiently performing straining work by regulating the size of cooking materials introduced into a container body to a size that allows for grinding by pressing blades.

[Means for Solving the Problems] Claim 1 provides at least one rotational axis around the axis of a rotary shaft that is supported to be rotatable and movable in the vertical direction within a container body in which a straining net is provided at the lower end opening. In the straining device that grinds the input cooking material by pressing blades that gradually incline from the lower part in contact with the screen to the upper part on the lower side in the rotational direction and extend in the radial direction, A space between an upper part of the pressing blade on the lower side in the rotational direction and a lower part on the upper side in the rotational direction of the pressing blade, which supports the rotation shaft rotatably and movably in the vertical direction with respect to the upper opening, and communicates with the inside of the container body. The device is characterized by a removably attached lid with a charging opening smaller in size than the corresponding size.

Claim 2 provides a lower portion that abuts against the mesh for at least half a circumference around the axis of a rotating shaft that is rotatably and vertically movably supported within a container body having a straining mesh provided at the lower end opening. In a pureeing device that grinds input cooking materials using pressing blades that gradually incline toward the upper part on the downstream side in the direction of rotation and extend in a radial direction, the rotating shaft is rotated with respect to the upper opening of the container main body. The press blade has a size corresponding to the distance between the upper part on the lower side of the pressing blade in the rotational direction and the lower part on the upper side in the rotational direction of the pressing blade. It is characterized by a removably attached lid having an input opening in which a cutter member for cutting into smaller pieces is provided in the opening.

[Function of the invention] Claim 1 provides that when cooking ingredients are introduced through the input opening of the lid attached to cover the upper opening of the container body, the size of the input opening is equal to the distance between the upper and lower parts of the pressing blades. Since the size is set smaller than the corresponding size, only cooking ingredients of a size that can be introduced between the upper part of the pressing blade and the net can be thrown in,
Input of cooking ingredients larger than this size is regulated.

The input cooking material is introduced between the pressing blade and the mesh as the pressing blade rotates, and then
It is crushed by being pressed against the net by the pressing force of the pressing blade.

According to a second aspect of the present invention, when the cooking ingredients are introduced through the input opening of the lid attached to the container body, the input cooking ingredients are cut between the pressing blade and the net by the cutting member provided at the opening of the input opening. It is cut to a size that can be introduced into the market.

The cooking ingredients that were added while being cut were
As the pressing blade rotates, it is introduced between the pressing blade and the net, and is then crushed by being pressed against the net by the pressing force of the pressing blade.

It is formed in a size that allows it to be inserted into the

Next, the operation of the strainer 1 constructed as described above will be explained with reference to FIG.

After arranging the cutting ring 19 on the lower surface of the net 11 attached to the lower end opening of the container body 9 so that the pivot pin 19a is inserted into the pivot hole 15a, The container body 9 is placed. In the above state, the pressing member 21 is mounted so that the shaft support hole 25b of the first bearing shaft 25 is inserted into the shaft support pin 19a protruding from the upper surface of the net 11. At this time, the rotating shaft 23 is moved to the upper position by the elastic force of the compression spring 27, and a required distance l is created between the flat part 29a of the pressing blade 29 and the upper surface of the net 11.
A gap consisting of 1 is formed. When the lid 7 is attached to the upper end opening of the container body 9 to which the pressing member 21 is attached as described above and then rotated in a desired direction, the engagement protrusion 9b and the engagement portion 7a will engage with each other. The lid 7 is fixed by fitting. At this time, the lower end portion of the drive shaft 35 is inserted into the upper hollow portion of the rotating shaft 23, and the drive shaft 35 is pushed upward by the elastic force of the compression spring 27. Further, the handle 37 inserted into the upper part of the second bearing shaft 33 is pushed upward by the contact of the pressing portion 37c with the upper end of the drive shaft 35 that has moved upward.

Cooking materials are charged into the container body 9 of the strainer 1 assembled as described above through the charging opening 39. At this time, as shown in FIG. 3, the input opening 39 is formed to a size smaller than the distance (l1+l2) between the upper edge (rotation direction end) of the curved surface part 29b of the pressing blade 29 moved to the upper position and the net 11. Therefore, only cooking materials of a size that can be pressed onto the net 11 by the pressing blades 29 b can be thrown into the container body 9 . Therefore, the setting is such that cooking materials of a size that is difficult to press onto the net 11 by the curved surface portion 29b cannot be thrown in. When the handle 37 is rotated in a desired direction with the cooking material on the mesh 11, the cooking material is moved onto the mesh by the curved surface portion 29b.
It is moved and crushed while being pushed to 1.
As the size of the cooking material becomes smaller as the straining progresses, the handle 37 is rotated while being pushed downward. At this time, the pressing portion 37 that comes into contact with the handle 37 as it is pushed down
c, the drive shaft 35 is pushed down against the elastic force of the compression spring 27, and the flat part 29a and the net 11
The distance between them gradually narrows. For this reason, the cooking material is stored in the mesh 11 formed by the curved surface portion 29b and the flat surface portion 29a.
It is ground while maintaining the pressed state.

In this way, in this embodiment, the size of the input opening 39 is set at least in accordance with the rising width of the curved surface portion 29b, so that only the cooking material of a size that can be pressed by the curved surface portion 29b is placed inside the container body 9. It is possible to puree it efficiently.

Claim 2 The rotation direction end of the curved surface portion 29b of the pressing blade 20 whose size of the input opening 39 has been moved to the upper position and the net 1
The size was slightly smaller than the distance between 1st and 4th.
As shown in the figure, the size of the input opening 51 is made larger than the above-mentioned interval, and a knife-shaped rib 53 with a sharp upper end is integrally formed on the lid 7 corresponding to the input opening 51, and each input is divided by the rib 53. The size of the opening is set to a size that allows crushing by the pressing blade 29. The ribs 53 regulate the size of the cooking material to be thrown in so that it can be ground.

[Effects of the invention] Therefore, the present invention provides a straining device that can efficiently perform straining work by regulating the size of the cooking ingredients put into the container body to a size that allows the pressing blades to grind the ingredients. Is possible.
